Need Help with AutoPilot.

That's really strange .

When I build my flight plan in ME and enter the game to fly it.OK,The AP is worked.Everything is fine.The Wpt will turn to next one from 1st to 2nd to 3rd...until to the finnal Wpt.

But When I build in the cockpit,if I engage the AP,the waypoint in the PVI-800 doesn't switch to next Wpt automatically even if it's the first Wpt.So the END WPT light will turn on and the AP will stop work when I pass this Wpt

 

Maybe I do something wrong on the PVI-800,so i will upload a .trk file.

Thank you for any replies.

You might have re-sequenced your WPTs such that it ends with #1 accidentally. Please post a track.

As frederf stated, could you post a track?

Thank you for your replies.

That's my track file.

Compliments to your aviation procedures. Before I get to the main issue a couple of notes:

 

1. When ABRIS displays 45°46'30'' the PVI should be given the coordinate 045°46.5' and not 46.3. By default the ABRIS displays in the format DD°MM'SS'' while the PVI works in the format DD°MM.M'. Your coordinates will be off in position up to 40'' otherwise. There's an option in the ABRIS to change the coordinate format and there is a LUA edit to make this option selected by default.

 

2. Binding the keyboard numpad to the PVI panel has sped up the data entry process for me a lot. Num7=1, Num8=2, Num9=3, Num_/=WPT, etc. Also my 6 and 8 keys are set to rotate the ABIRS knob with 7 being the press in. Should make things faster.

 

Now on to the main event: What's odd about your experience is that you loaded from file a mission that had no waypoints. As such the waypoint sequence was not defined. If you had 6 waypoints in the ME/MP flight plan that you subsequently changed then the sequence would have been defined as 1-2-3-4-5-6. Reference manual page 10-27 "Changing WP sequence in flight." This is how one specifies the waypoint sequence order. It can be 1-5-3-4 if you care to make it this.

 

EDIT: Yup, taking control in your track and performing the waypoint sequencing procedure gives desired results.
